The posters told LGBT students to "follow your fellow faggots" in committing suicide. Anti-LGBT fliers appeared on the main campus of Cleveland State University on Monday, the same day the school opened a new LGBT student center. The signs featured a figure with its head in a noose, with a caption reading “Follow your fellow faggots.” Also included were various statistics purported to indicate links between suicide and the LGBT community—including that 30% of suicides are LGBT-related and 34% of trans people...

People panicked when the man started saying "death is not the end." A man shouting anti-gay passages from the Bible on a London train this week caused passengers to panic and flee onto the tracks. The South Western Railway line into Waterloo experienced delays after passengers became frightened of the man for shouting Bible verses that declared gay men should be put to death. https://twitter.com/cyclingbetting/status/914753896542859264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newnownext.com%2Ftrain-homophobic-bible-verses-evacuate%2F10%2F2017%2F One of the passengers spoke to the Richmond and Twickenham Times about the incident, saying that riders near...

You go, Max! If you’re looking for the most adorable argument in favour of marriage equality, this is probably it. As Australians prepare to take part in a postal vote on the issue of same-sex marriage, anti-gay propaganda has been circulated around the country and “scaremongering” adverts have aired on TV. Priests have reportedly called for ‘all gay people to be shot‘, while an Australian MP has recently told LGBT+ people to “grow a spine” and “stop being delicate little flowers” in...

Linda Harvey, the president of Christian right group Mission: America, is at it again with her absurd statements. This time she’s actually claimed that the rainbow has been “raped” by homosexuals and Christians should therefore trademark it. There’s no misinterpreting her: she wrote this herself in an article for World Net Daily. Harvey seems to hate the fact that the rainbow is an adopted and widely recognized symbol of the LGBT community. Pride Month has clearly upset Harvey, as has “McDonald’s...

As any good, competent global leader should. It seems like common sense that national leaders, governmental figureheads, and global influencers should care about all of the people they govern and whose lives their decisions affect. That’s why, during her annual address to Parliament today, Queen Elizabeth II adapted to the times and, for the first time ever, included LGBTQ rights in her outline for the United Kingdom’s policies moving forward. “My government will make further progress to tackle the gender...

A gay couple have faced homophobic abuse after an anti-gay article went viral in Singapore. An image, which shows the couple kissing on a Metro train in Singapore, was at the centre of a homophobic option piece written on a local news site. Melinda, the writer of the homophobic article, shared the image after she was ‘disgusted’ by the couple. She wrote: “I respect everyone’s rights, but this is simply disgusting in a public space. “What if my children saw this and asked...

“A few Anzac years ago you bought me a beer… if you did it now I’d tip the bloody thing over your head”. Australian Conservative MP George Christensen was outraged last week when Queensland lowered the age of consent for anal sex, suggesting the move would lead to16-year-old boys being “preyed upon and groomed” by 50-year-old men. It prompted one of his constituents and long-time party supporters, 71-year-old Peter Roberts, who has a gay son, to write this reply that has...

And they didn’t get stoned to death, not even once! The photo comes via Kenneth Walsh of Kenneth in the 212. He claims that Gus posted a photo of the trio at a party before deleting it a few minutes later. According to Kenneth, the party was a...

The Republican Party in Texas wanted to come with a policy against gay people so they put up on their platform the following motion: “Homosexuality is a chosen behavior that is contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans.” Their purpose was to deny homosexuality on the grounds of religion, but instead they messed up the grammar and their motion actually says that “Homosexuality...

Jehovah Witnesses posted a new animated cartoon on their official site. This video has an anti-gay message for children: same-sex marriage goes against God’s will and homosexual people “can change” who they are. The video titled “One Man One Woman” became a part of a series of web videos called Become Jehovah’s Friend that teaching ‘lessons’ to kids. “One Man One Woman” is aimed at young kids and encourages them to “Become Jehovah’s Friend” by opposing same-sex parenting. The main character of this video is a little girl who saw a picture at...

Tuesday morning, Democrats in the Missouri Senate are still chatting about the many businesses that support their LGBT customers and the importance of not discriminating. They have been filibustering since 4:00 PM Monday afternoon to try to block legislation codifying anti-gay discrimination into state law. What they’ve been fighting all night is Senate Joint Resolution 39, which would advance a constitutional amendment that would protect religious organizations and individuals who oppose same-sex marriage. Mirroring the “First Amendment Defense Act” introduced...
